The price of Apple's new iPhone 14 has collapsed. This incident has flooded our technology circle today. I wonder if you have seen it. . .
From the previous week that tens of thousands of people had to buy a new Apple phone with a price increase of several thousand yuan, it has now fallen below the issue price and even paid 100 yuan. No one took over, forcing countless scalpers to hold their heads and cry. . .
No one expected such a dramatic scene to happen in just one week this year.
Things happened a bit suddenly. I will tell you all the details now:
1. Time went back to a week ago, on the evening of September 9, when Apple launched the online pre-sale of the new iPhone 14 series this year. That night, because there were too many people making reservations online for purchases, it directly squeezed out Apple's official website in China.
. Even after queuing like this for several hours, many people have not grabbed the new Apple 14 series phone. Some people even posted pictures online, saying that Apple's new product shipment time has been queued for one or two months later.
2. Because the pre-sale of the iPhone 14 series was too hot that night, some institutions even shouted boldly that the global sales of the iPhone 14 series will reach 83.5 million units in 2022, making it the best-selling smartphone in the world. The news of
has greatly stimulated Apple's stock price. When the U.S. stock market opened on September 12, Apple's stock price soared 3.9%, setting the largest single-day increase since May 27, with the stock price closing at US$163.43.
3. However, no one expected that after setting the largest single-day increase, Apple's stock price suddenly began to smash the market in recent days, and it fell to US stocks in just 4 days, which was equivalent to directly evaporating a market value of 1.4 trillion! !
4. Even if Apple's stock price plummets, it still does not stop the global Apple mobile phone purchase frenzy.
On the first day of its official launch on September 16, consumers who did not make an appointment with Apple phones online rushed to offline physical stores crazily.
Whether it is from New York Avenue or from Sanlitun, Beijing, basically all the elders are queuing up in line with Apple stores everywhere.
can't be bought online unless you are willing to wait for one or two months to ship. So many people who can't wait for so long ran to the offline Apple store in the middle of the night on September 16 to queue up. Just to buy the new Apple phone earlier, many people started queuing before dawn.
According to the news that Asia's largest electronic distribution center is located in Huaqiangbei, Futian, Shenzhen, China.
htmlOn the morning of September 16, as long as you buy new Apple phone products in a physical store, countless "scalpers" will surround you outside the store, asking you whether you can sell your newly obtained mobile phones.Someone lined up to get a new phone, so they immediately sold it to the "scalper" who had been waiting at the door for a long time. Some people didn't want to sell it, so the crazy scalpers raised the price by more than 2,000 or more, and they also had to buy it with a lot of money.
Then the tragedy happened. . .

5. Countless scalpers who raised prices in the morning and bought new Apple phones at high prices started selling at a loss in the afternoon.
Some people raised the price by 1,600 in the morning, but they could only sell it by 100 in the afternoon. A mobile phone lost 1,500 yuan. Scalpers are not fools, they must be profitable. They are busy buying new Apple 14's mobile phone at a high price in the morning;
, but who would have thought that there are no consumers who buy mobile phones at a higher price this year. Or it's not as much as before.
is based on the price chart that leaked on that day. Many mobile phones collected in the morning have plummeted in the afternoon.
Even the most costly iPhone14Pro Max; when the goods were received on the morning of the 16th, scalpers basically increased the price by more than 2,000 yuan to receive it!
If you change the sale on the same day, this most popular model will have to be at least 4,000 or even 5,000 yuan to buy it.
Even the next day, other Apple phones will be returned to their original form, and this Pro Max will have to be increased by 2,800 yuan to buy it.
But today is September 18th! Even this model is not profitable now, and selling one is a loss.
6. Let me show you a passage that the scalper in Huaqiangbei cried and said:
A "scalper" who calls himself Brother Sun said that the iPhone 14 is now losing 100 yuan, the iPhone 14 Pro is 300 yuan, the 1T gold and white iPhone 14 Pro Max is 500 yuan, and the black and dark purple is 600 yuan.
"The iPhone is not selling well now. In the past few years, a mobile phone made five or six thousand yuan. Now if you dare to stay overnight, you will be waiting to lose money." Brother Sun complained that the Pro Max was priced at 2,800 yuan yesterday morning, and the priced at 2,500 yuan yesterday afternoon, and it was down like this today.
That is to say, according to the scalper above, if the price is based on today's market conditions, if the Apple phone in the scalper is purchased at the original price without a price increase, it may remove labor costs and maintain revenue balance. If
is collected from the price increase, it will basically cost you one to sell one.
However, why is a scalper called a scalper? Isn’t it just because it was a high price to get a name from others?
So, this year, basically all scalpers who resell Apple 14 new phones are losing money, selling one, losing one. .
7. There are many such situations. Some people say that it is because the inflation in the United States continues to remain high, resulting in a bad global economy. So, except for those fans who were crazy about star chasing fans at the beginning, they were crazily buying new Apple 14 phones.
Other consumers may be choosing to wait and see. Because the money in the purse is not much, you may think that you will wait a little longer and don’t rush to buy it after the price is reduced.
, and my opinion is that besides the above factors, the other biggest reason is definitely the product itself.
03
Let me give you the simplest example:
Now the top version of Apple 14, why is the price drop the most fiercely? ?
has fallen to a significant drop in the issuance. The private price is far lower than the official website. Not only does it not add a penny, but it is all paying for money and is eager to ship it quickly. The most fundamental reason for
is that the 512G version of iPhone 14 is too high for the premium, and consumers may buy your products passionately due to admiration, sentiment and other factors.
But consumers are not fools! !
Please carefully look at the prices of the two versions 256G and 512G. The official website shows that the difference is 1,800 yuan, which is very, very outrageous. Just because of adding such a little storage, it will be 1,800 yuan more expensive? ?
Isn’t this obviously an IQ tax? ? How many people can save 256G on their mobile phones now? Not to mention 512G. Even if your memory is really not enough, there are various free cloud storage software everywhere, including Huawei, Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu and other companies that have such free cloud storage products.
You can add dozens of G or hundreds of G to your phone for free by moving your finger. But you directly cost 1,800 yuan. Isn’t this obviously a trick for an ignorant child?
And you can see again:
The best selling iPhone 14 Pro series and ProMax series.
Why do these most expensive versions sell the best? ?
Because only these two versions of the new iPhone 14 have significantly improved in terms of screen, chip and image. The other versions are basically no different from the original iPhone 13, but they are just changing their names. .
The Internet is now super developed in the world. Which product is better and has the functions improved? Before your product is launched, many reviewers are already testing it.
As long as you carefully read the new Apple 14 parameters, you will never be fooled!
So, you saw it. Now if you are willing to buy a new Apple phone, you can either buy the iPhone 14 Pro series and the ProMax series directly. . Even if the price is high! But it does have great advantages in screen, battery life and chips.
, and not many people buy the 216G version and 512G version of the ordinary Apple 14 series that are not much different from the previous iPhone 13.
has almost the same function, why do I have to buy an iPhone14 at such a high price? If you have this money, you can buy two iPhone 13s directly. There is basically no difference in the functions of
. Why do I have to pay IQ tax?
Finally, I will show you a super big news about Apple I just got:
According to research by financial data and analysis company S3 Partners, as of now, Apple's short positions are US$18.4 billion, surpassing Tesla and Microsoft, and have become the largest short positions in the US stock market now! !
What is short position? What does the largest short position mean?
means that investors are the least optimistic about and the most bearish company. I think this company will fall, and it means a big drop.
Now, Apple has become the biggest bearish representative for investors around the United States and all those who bet on the US stock market!
means that even Americans themselves are not optimistic about the new Apple phones that can sell well. They don't want to pay for the new iPhones themselves.
An Apple phone that even Americans don’t want to buy and are all bearish. Do you think it’s necessary to get up in the middle of the night to queue up to buy? ? Is
still worth it? Is it necessary for you to raise the price to buy? ?
is written at the end:
The real data of the market will not lie, and the data of the number one short position in the US stock market is even more realistic.
All of these fully demonstrate that Apple's new mobile phone has a lot of moisture!
People dare to directly increase the price of 1,800 yuan to sell you this IQ tax, because 512G has a little more storage than 256G, so they are so openly charged your IQ tax.
is not because the market demands. The main purchasing force of consumers in the market is too big and too enthusiastic.
Now this layer of window paper has been pierced! Many countries around the world are talking about this today!
In just a few days, everyone will know the tricks here.
Then these additional IQ taxes will definitely have to be restored to their original form! !
Please wait and see, maybe as short as half a month or as long as one month, the price of Apple 14 may usher in a super price cut and plummet! !
When the market is hot, the product price will inevitably rise, and when the market is deserted, the product price will inevitably fall. No company's products in this world can violate this most basic market law.
Even if it is Apple, which has dominated the world's smartphone boss for ten years! !
